Virgil in South Africa!!

[SADrummer]

Hey guys. I'm new to this thread. I went to see Virgil last night :D here in Cape Town! It was amazing!! I just wanted to say thanks to him for coming to south africa. He explains everything so clearly. Any other drummers from SA round here?

[Iron-Cobra]

Wow! wat a show..... im also from SA and lets just say it was a great treat being able to see that type of complex and professional drumming. You dont see a lot of that here. Im a metal drummer but as far as learning new rhythm concepts go it was well worth it.

Ive started on that sheet paper we received from virgil and lets just say I've been looking for something hard 2 practise in a wile and this was well worth the wait!

Cant wait for Virgil 2 come back!

[SADrummer]

Hi Iron-Cobra. where in SA are you? I'm also looking his layer idea right now... now thats crazy. I hope he brings his band next time he comes. I've never really gotten into double bass but seems to me I should. I holiday so I can practice the whole day! YEAH!!

i went to go see Virgil lastnight here in Cape town. it was amazing!

i had the privilage of picking him up from the airport and taking him out for a quick bite to eat before the show. it was a pleasure driving him around and showing him alittle bit of cape town.

he also signed my sticks, awesome!

Virgil, if you read this, it was an honour, thank you!
